Hi there,
Two things:
(a) in my experience - you should use single quotes in your query to
surround the values and so you don't need to escape them either (e.g.
'$first_name')
and (b) Make sure register_globals is on - otherwise you need to use
$_POST[first_name]
Cheers,
Michael.
Thanks for your suggestions.
first my /etc/php.ini
register_globals = on
second i made the change as you suggested and i added a
[$blabla = truly random;]
when the input.php is excuated, 'blabla' value is inserted into the
table. '$first_name' is still left blank.
this leads me to believe that
